Pregnancy and Postnatal Massage
A calm, nurturing space to support your body as it adapts, before and after birth.
Why Pregnancy and Postnatal Massage Matter
Pregnancy and the period after birth are times of natural change. Your posture shifts, your sleep may look different, and certain areas of your body can feel more active than usual. Massage offers a gentle way to bring comfort, ease tension, and create a moment where you can simply pause and breathe.
I generally prefer to begin pregnancy massage from around 12 weeks onwards, once things feel more settled.
My pregnancy and postnatal treatments are designed to help you feel supported, comfortable and relaxed without pressure, expectation or judgement. Each session is tailored to how you feel on the day, with plenty of pillows, bolsters and warmth so you can fully settle.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy massage is a gentle, supportive treatment designed to help you feel comfortable and relaxed as your body adapts.
Each session is tailored to how you feel on the day. You’ll be positioned comfortably on your side with plenty of pillows and bolsters, allowing the body to fully settle while areas such as the back, hips, legs and shoulders are worked with care.
The Unique Benefits of Pregnancy Massage
Comfort & Ease
Massage brings relief to areas that naturally work a little harder, such as the back, hips and legs.
Deep Rest
Gentle, soothing techniques help calm the nervous system and support more settled sleep.
Improved Circulation
Helps reduce that heavy feeling in the legs and encourages lightness.
Safe & Supportive
Treatments use adapted positions with pillows and bolsters so you feel relaxed and secure.

Postnatal Massage
The weeks and months after birth are a time of adjustment as your body settles into a new rhythm. Everyday movements such as feeding, carrying and holding can place extra demand on areas like the shoulders, neck, back and hips.
Postnatal massage offers gentle, supportive care during this time. Treatments are adapted to how you’re feeling on the day, with the aim of helping your body feel more comfortable, relaxed and at ease.
How Postnatal Massage Can Help
✔️ Creates a quiet moment to pause and rest
✔️ Eases tension through the neck, shoulders and back
✔️ Brings comfort to areas affected by feeding and carrying
✔️ Encourages relaxation and emotional calm
✔️ Helps your body feel more balanced over time
When Can I Book?
Postnatal massage can usually be enjoyed once you feel ready and comfortable.
If you’ve had a caesarean birth, massage is still very much available to you. I simply ask that the area has fully healed and that you’ve been given the go-ahead by your midwife or GP before any work around the abdomen. In the meantime, massage to areas such as the back, shoulders, hips, legs and feet can still be enjoyed.
If you’re unsure whether the timing feels right, you’re always welcome to get in touch and we can talk it through together.
